Install the panels with the water-resistive barrier facing outward. Be advised to place tape or apply sealant carefully. During installation, the tape may be immediately peeled back once to reposition.

Space all panel edges 1/8˝. Install WRB panels vertically or horizontally.

In the absence of project specifications, nail panels 6˝ on center along supported ends and edges and 12˝ on center at intermediate supports. Fasten panels 3/8˝ from panel edges. Use 6d common nails for panels up to 1/2˝ thick, 8d common nails for panels up to 5/8˝ thick.

Use the tape or liquid-applied sealant to cover seams between adjacent panel edges. If you are using WeatherLogic tape, clean and fully dry surface before taping, center the tape over the seam, and use one continuous piece of tape where possible. Use squeegee to seal fully and complete your WRB install.

For sealant, first apply a bead of sealant into the seam. Then apply either a bead in a zig‐zag pattern across the panel seam or in two straight beads about half an inch on either side of seam. Use a putty knife, spatula or another dry tool to smooth the sealant, being careful not to remove or gouge the sealant.
